Hi Everyone, I forgot to attach the paper to my earlier email today. I also uploaded to our meeting website another article by Mermin (from Am.J.Phys.) on the same topic. It's also short but has maybe a little better description of the GHZ experiment. It's not attached as it is too big for the listserver, but you can find it at http://dmtpc.mit.edu/MaKaC/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=260 along with the Physics Today article.
